T minus 18 days until Christmas Eve,
and I’m proud to say I haven’t even devoted one second of thought
to buying gifts for the holidays.
Well, okay, maybe “proud” isn’t
the right word. Maybe “embarrassed” or “mortified” or “not
totally surprised” would fit in that sentence a little better. But
here we are 18 days out, and I haven’t done a thing yet.
I really need to get my butt in gear,
don’t I?
As usual, I have an excuse, and as
usual, the excuse is the same excuse that I always use--I just
haven’t had the time yet. I mean, between my real job and my TV
job (where I have to be in a few minutes, in fact) and my History
Center job and my feeble attempt to have a personal life, there just
hasn’t been much leftover brainpower to think about things. Heck,
my birthday was Wednesday, and it wasn’t until, I think, Monday
that I even wrote down a few gift suggestions, even though people had
been bugging me about it for weeks.
My fault, and my fault entirely.
However, I’ve promised myself that
this is the weekend that I will get my butt in gear and start
devoting thought to this year’s gift list. There are a couple of
events this weekend that are designed to put people in the holiday
spirit—the Greek Orthodox Church Bake Sale and the Peter White
Public Library’s Winter Wonderland Open House & Cookie Fest,
just to name a few. So while I’m eating waaaaaaay too much food
for the third time in nine days I’ll also start to think about what
to give friends and family for the holidays.
After all, there are 18 days left.
That’s, like, an eternity, right?
8-)
On that note, YOU have yourself a great
weekend. If you have any holiday chores to take care of, I hope you
get them done quickly and without hassle!!
